Death Reflection
How does thinking about death affect you?
Are you curious?
A research team from Dr. Marla Morden’s lab at Vancouver Island University (VIU), located in Nanaimo, B.C., Canada, is seeking adult participants for a study investigating the effects of death reflection.
☠️
You have one of two options: you may (I) complete an online survey OR (II) attend a face-to-face session at VIU. The choice is up to you.
☠️
(I) Online Survey: Participation will take about 20-30 minutes, and may involve a death reflection exercise.
☠️
(II) Face-to-face: Participation will take about 20-30 minutes, and may involve a death reflection exercise and galvanic skin response (GSR) test. The GSR test assesses your physiological reactions. It's non-invasive and involves the placement of an electrode on your finger. The button below (labelled "Face-to-face") will prompt you to email the team to sign up.
☠️
The death reflection exercise consists of imagining yourself dying, followed by answering four open-ended questions. Afterwards, you may be asked to write about any positive thoughts or feelings related to your experience of the death reflection exercise. All responses will be completely confidential.
